Kenny Carr was outstanding. Found his stats on gopack However, I’m still sticking with TJ as best since DT. We’re comparing him to people who played three and four years and with better talent around him.
He was playing 1 on 5 against Miami on Saturday and almost won.
But regardless of who we all like, they were all good. Anyway, enjoyed the conversation, thanks to all who participated.

My worst memory of that era was when we were up 20 points at halftime vs the holes and carolina fought back and as Clyde Austin was bringing the ball up damn Dudley Bradley picked his pocket and went in for the dunk and won the game in the last seconds.
Like deja vu all over again.
Hey “D-Day” seeing your name reminds me of Harold Ramis. I thought your whereabouts were unknown…
If we were really doing a best since in comedy, he would be at the top..Can’t think of anybody who has made me laugh more. RIP, Harold.
Pakfan..Have you seen Lacey play? I only know what I’ve read about him, but understand he is a better 3 point shooter than Turner and a little more athletic. I hope so.
BJD – I liked Monroe, too. He would be my second best. Never could have imagined he wouldn’t have a long NBA career
With TJ having such a great season, makes you wonder if R Purvis is sitting in the Connecticut snow and being a little jealous?
Granted on TG. I remember watching him come into his own in a tournament in Charlotte. Pepsi Classic, I think. Not sure if that was his soph or jr year. He was really good towards the end of his career in Raleigh.
I think the difference is TJ has no future NBA players or even Euro players around him, where TG had 3 or 4 future pros.
I liked TG a lot and he had a wonderful NBA career, but just as a college player not sure I wouldn’t take Warren. I could only imagine in he stayed 4 years.
